The new generation

Volvo Cars child safety

Now, it’s time to take the next step. It’s time to introduce
the new generation of Volvo Cars child seats.

Today, when it comes to child safety in cars, Volvo is regarded as the benchmark. But this didn’t happen overnight. It was the result of more than half a century of hard work, continuous testing and meticulous research. And it’s something we’re very proud of. So when the time came to develop the new generation of Volvo Cars child seats, we took fifty years of knowledge and expertise and used it to create a range of child seats that is safe, comfortable and luxurious.

Designed for real life

The Volvo Cars’ Traffic Accident Research Team has been collecting information on Swedish road crashes involving Volvos since the early 1970s. This information helped us develop the test programme we use at our test centre in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Our unique approach to child safety includes creating and carrying out tests based on real-life traffic situations, as well as testing our child seats along with our cars. Testing our child seats along with our cars allows us to carefully monitor how each child seat reacts in a real-life car environment, and then tailor our designs accordingly.

We also study how the appearance and performance of each child seat is affected by everyday usage in different conditions, e.g. cold, humidity. Further testing is carried out on the materials used to help reduce in-car emissions and ensure that all child seats are free from harmful substances, such as nickel and chromium.

A good child seat is designed to suit both the child and the car. But above all, a good child seat should meet the child’s need for protection.

Introducing the new generation

Not only are the new generation of Volvo Cars child seats easier to use, we have also added improved tilt and recline possibilities to help children rest and sleep. The rear-facing infant seat features an adjustable headrest with seven different setting options, while the large rear-facing child seat has been optimised to offer improved legroom for taller children. Each new child seat has incorporated elements of classic Scandinavian design to help it integrate with the car’s interior, while the unique and elegant charcoal-coloured upholstery is breathable, absorbent and soft to the touch. Overall, our new range of child seats offers more ISOFIX attachment points than before to ensure that this is our most secure and most comfortable range of child seats yet.

Safe, comfortable and luxurious. The new generation of Volvo Cars child seats takes more than fifty years of experience, knowledge and testing and passes the benefits on to you and your family. Welcome to the new generation.
